Thanks. Actually, Neo Patwa cannot be at-sight
readable. It's meant to have some degree of cultural
neutrality, and that almost by definition means that
it can't be easy at first sight for anybody. The
vocabulary of all Chinese languages are so different
from European languages that there is really nothing
in common, except for loan words of course. And most
other Asian and African languages are not really
similar. Even Hindi, which is Indo-European, is not
really recognizable except for certain words.

No, and I doubt that it happens. The problem is, who
would ever look for the keywords that appear in the
blog? I think the only people who visit the blog are
people who I tell personally.
